Question 1 of 5
The nurse correctly explains to the group that the most important condition related to frequent urination during pregnancy is related to what factor?

Question 2 of 5

Question 3 of 5
The nurse recognizes which behavior as a sign of potential depression in a pregnant client?

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the laboratory test results of the pregnant client. Which laboratory test findings would require further follow-up from the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The normal Hgb level should be 12—16 g/dL in the pregnant client. The nurse should encourage iron-rich foods. The 50-g 1-hour glucose test should be less than 140. Values over 140 warrant a 3-hour glucose screen to determine if the client has gestational diabetes. The presence of glucose in the urine (glucosuria) is negative, which is a normal finding. Proteinuria in trace amounts is common in pregnant women, although higher protein concentrations should be evaluated.
Question 5 of 5
